When a user enters a search query on the e-commerce website a custom URL is generated, this URL is been crawled by Google and shows in Google Webmaster tool as 'URL Not Found' or 'Unreachable'.

How can we prevent this URL's generated by search to reflect in webmaster tool as 'Not Found'. I can't keep on removing it every time and forever. I want a permanent solution that can prevent these URL from Google.

Actually, I've seen e-commerce websites that generate pages dynamically even when user search doesn't pull anything up. For example, sulit.com.ph has hundreds of pages for potential searches, some of them being empty. The pages are ranking quite well somehow.

If the returned url (after search) has a standard form ended let's say with the searched keyword you can use this form on .htacces for rewrite mode.
Btw, if the number of not found pages is low in your webmaster tools you can ignore them, it's not wise to remove them manually this action can harm your website because you may remove important pages.
